Cracking a Real Di Vinci Code




While I was getting a cleaning today at the dentist, my attention was drawn to the television in the room. It was on a news station and Di Vinci’s Last Supper had yet again another breaking story. Apparently the artist left clues of a forty second musical composition in his painting. It was found by drawing the lines of a musical staff across the painting; the hands of Jesus and the Apostles as well as the loaves of bread contributed as the music notes. Theses notes made sense musically only when read from right to left, Di Vinci’s own style of writing. The notes are said to be a forty second “hymn to God.” This did not come to much of a surprise to researchers due to the fact that Di Vinci was not only a painter, inventor, and sculptor, but also a musician.
